Painter to Noumea - New Caledonia
New Caledonia
"Les Mains Baladeuses is an art collective based in Nouméa, New Caledonia, bringing together two artists with a passion for street art and graffiti. The duo is made up of Guiz Poch'art and Virginie Purple, two urban artists who share a deep love of artistic expression through spray paint and stencils. Their collaboration is characterised by a creative exploration of texture, colour and movement, often incorporating salvaged elements into their work to add an extra dimension to their art.
Their name, 'Les Mains Baladeuses', reflects their experimental approach and their willingness to experiment with a variety of techniques and media, from urban walls to studio canvases. The collective is known for works that captivate the eye with meticulous detail and emotionally powerful depictions, focusing primarily on portraits and human gazes. Through their art, they seek to tell stories, provoke thought and establish a strong visual connection with the viewer.
Active in the public space, 'Les Mains Baladeuses' contribute to the cultural dynamic of Nouméa and New Caledonia in general, transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary canvases. Their work is not limited to the visual, but is part of a wider dialogue with the community, bringing colour and life to the streets while highlighting relevant social and cultural issues.
